Hey guys just wanting to get an idea of peoples opinions on Open-Source software as i know many people have very different opinions.
The sort of thing im looking for is:
Advantages for your personal use
Disadvantages for your personal use
Whether you agree with Open-Source
If you ever use Open-Source (if so what sort of things do you use it for and why use open source instead of close system)
Think this could be an interesting topic. All replies welcome.
Thanks guys
